Sensor-based wireless network vulnerability detection

Certain embodiments disclosed herein include a method for detecting potential vulnerabilities in a wireless environment. The method comprises collecting, by a network sensor deployed in the wireless environment, at least wireless traffic data; analyzing the collected wireless traffic data to detect at least activity initiated by a wireless entity in the wireless environment; sending, to a control system, data indicating the detected wireless entity; and enforcing a security policy on the detected wireless entity based on instructions received from the control system.
